Virginia Tech's Key Players to Watch

Virginia Tech’s future looks brighter than ever under James Franklin, and it all hinges on a few breakout stars. Quarterback Ethan Grunkemeyer, who bounced back from a shaky start to set a Penn State record for completion percentage, is the heartbeat of the offense. Defensive anchor Kemari Copeland, an All-ACC standout who chose to stay, is leading a young but promising defense. Running back Marcellous Hawkins, averaging over six yards per carry, provides the crucial ground game stability. Kicker John Love, perfect on PATs and clutch on big kicks, could be the difference in close games. And wide receiver QueSean Brown, a dynamic transfer from Duke, brings unpredictability and big-play ability. With these players stepping up, Virginia Tech could be a surprise this season.
